Title: Bookmarking spots in a music file?
Post by: Dalinar on January 29, 2023, 05:28:08 AM

Is there a way to tag for future reference (maybe make notes too) a spot within a music file? I mean bookmark a time or at least mark a time.

Have a look at CUE sheets: https://www.thewelltemperedcomputer.com/KB/CueSheet.htm

There's another, much more convenient possibility: using MB's built-in bookmark feature, combined with modifying the Comment tag of the concerned file.

• To define a bookmark in MB, you must mark a start and an end (so use Ctrl+D twice), whereas other players define a bookmark as one time mark.
• So as to make 'Bookmarks' visible in the Navigator Panel (and thus be able to pin it as a tab), activate it in the Preferences:
  Preferences -> Layout (1) -> left sidebar -> [v] bookmarks
• In the Bookmarks tab, add Comment to the displayed tags, so that you can edit its value.

EDIT:
The solution proposed by Vincent works, but it's tricky.
There's no commenting feature in cue sheets, thus the only way is to define a supplemental track with your comment as title.
It also means that you have to renumber all the tracks of your album if you want to keep its original order.

EDIT 2:
The Comment tag shown in the Bookmarks tab is specific for each bookmark defined, and differs from the Comment tag saved in the audio file.
